re: 2014 GOP Takeover and Impeachment

You are right, they may not be able to find him doing anything himself illegally. He never knows anything and learns everything at his press conferences. His lackies do everything for him and take the blame.

Which is what would happen imho. I would love to see him impeached and thrown out of office. But I also believe the smartest move by Republicans should they control both the House and Senate in 2014, is to minimize the bleeding until 2016 and take caution to keep their noses clean.

Obama has virtually and existentially PISSED on the Constitution and the Law...picking and choosing which he enforces (his duty)...he has blatantly usurped Congress duty of making Law by using his regulatory agencies to close down and reshape the Energy and Healthcare sector...he has co-opted the IRS/NSA to target political opponents.....and the worst of all in this whole scenario...this nation remains DIVIDED on the support of the man (his action).

So, just WTF does that tell you about politics, and the true measure and weight that the Law USED to hold? Just under HALF of this population are ready and willing to NULLIFY the Constitution and the Law therein...so do yall really think it will matter who or what the *esteemed* House and Senate does up there.

Like Beck says...still "stuck in normal". You won't recognize this place by the time Obama is ready to exit or the feckless Congress has another session to gripe, bitch and argue. Bernacke is the man to watch; he'll affect the scenario in ways that Obama/Courts/Congress will only be another reactionary limp dick.

Appears to be more a matter of incompetence than illegal behavior.

While it seems our foreign policy has unwittingly resulted in weapons flowing to AQ operatives, it is absurd to label it as intentional...and again even the unintentional incompetence and terrible foreign policy don't amount to impeachment.

Obama will be with us until 2016...then whoever next...hopefully Rand Paul, but I have my doubts.

I love it, the tides start turning our way and people want to derail it with impeachment talk. Wait for the bloody election. Do you remember the Clinton years? Do you remember how well it went the last time? Impeachment should be reserved for high crimes... not political differences.

If Republicans take both Houses (a real possibility..even Nate Silver has predicted we get at least 50) then they don't need to go after Obama and impeachment. It would look bad on the GOP (unless Obama really screws up in the future, which is always a possibility).

Can't have the media pushing the race card on Republicans before 2016, plus impeachment just gives us Biden which is no better.

GOP should focus on righting the wrongs such as Obamacare, balancing the budget, etc. Things that will improve our economy and unemployment and get votes leading up to 2016. Basically what we did with Clinton when we won both houses

quote:If the GOP controls both the House and Senate after the 2014 midterms, will the impeachment process gain considerable traction and become a viable possibility? I'm not saying it will or won't result in a formal impeachment, or even if it could succeed.
